    Radio Bumper

    September 29, 2017
    Most of the bumpers I remember hearing were quick, animated, and consisted of several vocal effects and fun sounds. I used the first 10 seconds of this video to help inspire the writing and speaking style I’d use. Then I recorded myself with my apple headphone mic. Once I had a decent recording in Audacity, I added the echo effect in … Continue reading Radio Bumper

    Ceto’s Soundtrack

    September 29, 2017
    So, this was time consuming. The last few assignments that featured Ceto relied heavily on my intro scene. This one forced me to zoom out and picture her story as a whole. Ceto is a primordial sea goddess who is banished to Earth and forced to inhabit a physical form. I still have not decided whether she hurts or helps mankind … Continue reading Ceto’s Soundtrack

    That’s right. Ceto’s back. Since we had to incorporate our character (again), I decided that my Sound Effects Story should accompany Ceto’s introduction. Yes, my idea of this scene was so vivid that I felt compelled to add another layer to the madness. Thankfully, I learned how to use Audacity this past summer while creating a mix for … Continue reading Ceto Rises

    Audio Storytelling or Mind Control?

    by
    | #audioreflection, Assignments, digital storytelling, Syndicated
    September 27, 2017
    Audio effects are one of the most under-appreciated elements in film because it’s often used to support the visuals. Sound alone changes the tone of any setting and circumstance. When it comes to this topic, I can’t help but immediately think of jump scares in horror films; soft, low music plays while we anticipate something frightening, until we’re abruptly greeted with … Continue reading Audio Storytelling or Mind Control?

    Week Four: Photo Bomb

    September 22, 2017
    This was a great week. I managed my time well and generally just felt more comfortable approaching the visual assignments. I compared my experience with photography to the readings and realized that, while I incorporate a lot of elements in my photos, there are plenty of things I should work on, like creating more of a story and … Continue reading Week Four: Photo Bomb

    I Don’t Usually Take Pictures of My Dirty Dishes

    by
    | Daily Create, digital storytelling, Syndicated
    September 22, 2017
    I really liked this week’s daily creates. The first prompt was to be shady or shadowy, the second was to take a photo of something and make it heart-breakingly beautiful, and the third was to depict confusion. I used my phone camera for all of the pictures and made no edits aside from the standard grayscale … Continue reading I Don’t Usually Take Pictures of My Dirty Dishes

    Self Portrait

    September 21, 2017
    So, things got weird with this one. I stumbled upon Averaging Concepts Using Flickr and decided to try it since I’d never averaged a photo before. But instead of using pictures found on Flickr, I thought it might be worth it to use a bunch of self portraits. I created the Averaged Portrait assignment to better suit my … Continue reading Self Portrait

    September 21, 2017
    I was excited when I saw that we’d incorporate our recently-created characters in a visual assignment. I really loved the setting of Ceto’s entrance and decided to recreate it by adjusting the colors of an image that already existed. I figured the best way to approach this was through the Color Changer assignment. In the excerpt I wrote last week, … Continue reading Ceto Swims

    September 20, 2017
    While I am interested in photography, I have a lot to learn. I started experimenting with photos when I was fourteen. As I discovered how to use cosmetics, I’d document different looks using the family camera. My frequent practice with self-portraits led me to notice that the pictures I liked tended to have certain qualities: good lighting, an interesting/uniform background, … Continue reading I, Photog

    Sailor Moon: My favorite superheroine. Ever. This series led to my first experiences with online storytelling and community; at age eleven, I discovered the world of fan fiction, I began sketching manga, and even experimented with creating my own anime music videos. Sailor Moon inspired me to test the limits of my creativity and learn how incredible and fun the Internet … Continue reading Moon Dumpster Power!

    September 15, 2017
    Man, this week was tough. There is nothing I hate more than the intimidation I feel while staring at a blank page. I’ll start with TDC. This week’s daily creates featured a haiku, animorphing, and International Dot Day. Because I hadn’t really incorporated the superhero concept into my work for this course, writing a reflection on what defines a superhero definitely worked well … Continue reading Week Three: Words Emerge

    September 15, 2017
    There were a few different factors that went into this character. First, I used online phrase generators to look for words that inspired me. From the phrases that came up, plus the references to mythology in Ink-stained Amazons and Cinematic Warriors, I was able to hone in on water, mythical creatures and dreams/fantasy. I spent a … Continue reading Explaining Ceto

    I heard the scream and knew immediately what was happening. Mrs. Tulu lives in a ground-level apartment on the side closest to the alleyway. Although we technically reside in the showiest side of town, our building lies on the border of the west end of Hemlock County, where police are corrupt and criminals run wild. As a result, we are the residents who have … Continue reading Trustworthy Forehead

    September 14, 2017
    I’ll admit that I had a very narrow-minded opinion about superheroes. The First Ever Superman Cartoon had a lot of qualities I’d associated with the genre since I was young. Because of this story, and other popular tales like Spiderman and X-Men,  I considered their traits to be nothing but unattainable ideals. Some common tropes were the need to disguise themselves … Continue reading Finding My Cape
